Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. asparagus (equal to 1 bunch)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt/Pepper
  • Lemon Wedges
  • Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Rinse the asparagus and pat completely dry.
  • Line up the asparagus and trim an inch off the bottom to remove the tough/thick part.
  • Place on a baking sheet (preferably dark), and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Arrange in a single layer and leave space around each so that they can roast and not steam.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes. (Closer to 10 for a dark baking sheet or 15 for a light one.) Thicker asparagus will take a little longer as well. You want the outside to roast but the asparagus to remain firm without becoming too flimsy.
  • Remove and season with salt and pepper. (Lemon pepper seasoning is also a great choice!) Serve with lemon wedges and/or Parmesan cheese if desired.
